assure the proper height adjustment.
• DO NOT use the rollator as a wheelchair.
• DO NOT attempt to move the rollator while you or anyone is sitting on the seat.
• DO NOT self-propel the rollator while seated.
• Serious injury to you and/or damage to the rollator walker frame or wheels may result from

result: Maximum weight capacity: 250 lbs (113 kg)
• Before each use make sure the rollator frame is fully opened.
• Check the brakes for proper operation. Make sure that all parts are secure and that moving
parts are in good working order. Wheels should roll and not wobble.
• All wheels must be in contact with the floor and/or ground at ALL TIMES. This will ensure the
rollator is properly balanced.
• The brakes MUST be in the locked position BEFORE sitting on the seat.
• DO NOT sit on the walker if the ground is sloped or uneven.
• DO NOT use the rollator to walk backwards, down gradients or to climb stairs,
curbs, or to go over obstacles. Serious risk of fall or injury may occur.
• DO NOT perform any adjustments to the rollator while it is in use.
• Only use accessories and spare parts authorized by Medline Industries, Inc.
• DO NOT push rollator while brakes are enabled. Brakes are used to keep the wheels from rolling.
But it may not prevent the rollator from moving if it is pushed.
• DO NOT use the rollator to provide assistance while rising from a lower position. If
you use it to pull yourself up to a standing position, the rollator may move even if
the brakes are in the locked position and this could result in a fall.
• Inspect the handle bar grips prior to use. Assure the plastic parts are still functional if they are
exposed to extreme temperatures (above 100°F (38°C) or below 32°F (0°C) high humidity and/
or become wet.
• DO NOT twist hand grips as they are not meant to be twisted. Failure to do this
could result in a fall.
• DO NOT hang anything from the frame of the rolling walker other than the basket included or
the tote bag accessory. The basket has a weight limitation of 11 lbs (5 kg). The tote bag has a
weight limitation of 10 lbs (4.5 kg). Items should be placed completely in the basket or tote bag
and should not protrude. This may cause the rollator to tip, resulting in bodily injury or rollator
damage.
• The backrest is intended to provide back support as you sit on the seat. The backrest is not
intended to support full weight. Avoid leaning while sitting as this may result in fall.
